Samsung Stratosphere spec's revealed, and phone is compared to other Verizon models

The first of Verizon's sliders with LTE connectivity will soon launch on October 5th as the Samsung Stratosphere. Droid Life has obtained a couple of Verizon charts that compares the Stratosphere with other Verizon 4G LTE devices and other Verizon sliders. First, let's delve into the official stats of the phone. According to Verizon, the Samsung Stratosphere will have a single-core 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM aboard. There are two cameras with a 5MP shooter on back capturing video at 480p and a 1.3MP one on front. The screen is a 4 inch WVGA Super AMOLED display. Samsung's TouchWiz runs over Android 2.3.

On the comparison chart showing other LTE devices (except the Motorola DROID BIONIC which is conspicuous by its absence), Verizon lists each phone's "tier". For example, the Samsung Droid Charge and the HTC ThunderBolt are listed as being high tier phones. In case you're wondering, the Samsung Stratosphere is listed as being a mid tier phone, so you can expect it to be priced accordingly.

of course I'm not expecting it to be free, what I meant is that these mid-range devices aren't worth signing a contract for, warranty replacements or retail price bought back ups? you bet! why not spend an extra Benjamin and go for a serious handset? saving? not really, you still need the same data plan that will run you $720 for the life of the contract, just saying

This is true, but the average consumer doesn't think about it as a difference between $920 and $1020 over 24 months. They just see a $300 price tag and balk. Especially if they're used to paying $130 for a high-end featurephone.

Verizon must know this. Why else would they bother with a $100 LTE Pantech?

Verizon must not really know much about their competition. The Evo Shift actually has Android 2.3, 720p recording, and it's 800Mhz processor is comparable to the 1Ghz in the Evo 4G & HTC HD7. That's not to mention that even though the Shift does have a smaller screen size, it has the same resolution which means that the pixel density is higher.
